Truly, when I read your comment Yokel I could picture this upstanding morally conservative right wing politician and former police prosecutor saying it:
God bless
Agreed about irrigation in Canterbury. Shallow porous soils made up mainly of sand and gravel. They contain little clay or organic matter which is what good soils are composed of because they soak up and retain water. In Canterbury, irrigation water mainly drains down into the gravel beds or is evaporated by the hot winds and sun. Bloody looney to try and turn it into a garden when Waikato, Taranaki, West Coast and Southland etc already have deep rich soils.
True... it trickles down
Bridge. Build one. Get on over that thang. The amusing thing is, the lazy will exist forever. They are miniscule in number. Which means that the vast majority of peeps iz willing to work. There will still be those who want to work that are unemployed and you have to pay them something to live, because we're civilised that way, erm, to a degree. Yet some strange people seem to ignore that the "lazy" will exist no matter what, and decide to get pissed at it, because it costs them money. Well, duh, they're a part of the unemployed so whether they want to work or not is irrelevant, the reality is that there are only so many jobs available, hence unemployment. Oh yeah, the amusing thing... those strange people are the very ones who pay for and vote for that cycle to continue. I say amusing, but the irony really is delicious:

I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!
Man that toastie looks yum.
You're spot on...
Norway is a great example of hard work and "leftism" - funny that what we call left here is actually still conservative in Norway. One of the lowest debt to GDP ratios in the world. High tax, free education, good social services, welfare, and nearly half the unemployment rate of us = at only 3.9%. 83.5% of Norwegians own their own homes compared to what in NZ, just over 50%? Not to mention unlike us and the Aussies they saved every dollar they made from selling their resources so now have a global pension fund of $460 billion dollars.
That probably sounds like a shit hole and raw deal to Yokel.
Here's what their "Right Wing" Conservative PM had to say about the Norway way:
http://thepolitic.org/an-interview-w...ter-of-norway/"Norway is known for its high levels of equality and living standards relative to other countries in the world. To what extent is this because of the taxation system, and what are the challenges your government faces to maintain these standards?
Low level of inequality is a result of good public schools and free higher education. Both the economist Thomas Piketty and a recent OECD report on inequality clearly state that giving high-quality education to all is essential to efforts to reduce inequality. The more competence and skills workers have, the more capital owners are willing to invest. Our taxation system is important for re-distribution and the financing of social services, but no social benefit can compensate for the lack of necessary skills to succeed in the labor market."
Who would've guessed that if you invest in people and value them they would be productive... I mean shit it's not like we do the same thing with kids we raise right?
Who would have guessed that the average Norwegian worker is more than double productive than the kiwi and is top internationally for GDP per hour worked.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...er_hour_worked
Haha best quote yet
Ive delt with these looneys and trust me
I paid my own way to wellington to meet and talk about student loans
Hotel flights taxi etc

Our family knows his family rather well
Actually they know us well but we dont get invited
He . Knowing full well what the policy promised
I mean promised and i remember saying to him that i doubted him promise
He agreed with me about all the social effects and ills that would and have befallen society
Made a good point about my fees being 1/4 of the total fee.
.which is a fair point
But chch poly spending 20 k on a set of blinds for the maori building
May have slipped his mind
Oh then adding living costs the year after
Now
Seemed to weaken his argument
If i bought a house on a fixed loan and suddenly the bank says the service fee will double
You would be pissed
And probably take the bank to court
For breach of contract
Couldnt do that with student loans
Oh as for the teachers . . I stood on the picket line with them
The blinds were made of wood so cost a lot and the money had to come from somewhere
So the lying toe rag carter either
Knew and lied
Didnt know and read from party manual . .
Or
Is so dumb shoelaces are a challenge
I suspect the last one
They politicians enter full of ideals . . And eithrt toe the agenda or leave or are forced to leave
Leane daziel is a friend of the family
I know her
But she was removed from the front bench
The reason given is that she is a lyin cheating scumbag
Actually she is is a nice woman who lacks a spine , . .
Doesnt make her bad
She just didnt fit in
And dhe paid the price
Key just epitomises the cream of the crop
Dont get me started on wheeler . .whose boss was

My wife has a pony tail, says JK can pull hers any time....
I can see all the middle aged women at the hairdressers now " can you do me a pony tail, going to hang out in Parnell"
DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon
